We sometimes conduct reviews on things that at first glance are completely distracted from our subject. The key point is that the device is really technologically advanced, or at least innovative in some way. You were interested in learning about it.
I always thought that a hair dryer is a hair dryer on a camping trip. Turns on, blows? Norm will do. But progress in the last 5 years has reached them. Models based on new work discoveries and unusual engines are becoming more and more popular.
When I was offered to try the Laifen Swift Special, I was unexpectedly surprised. What such maybe a hair dryer?
Reality turned out to be much more interesting. The Laifen Swift Special has more than enough advantages. Now my wife is asking when we will buy one for ourselves. It was necessary to deliver to the office to issue, and not home …
What do you need to know about Laifen?
Company Lifen was created in 2019 by the Chinese scientist Hongsin Yei. For two years, he developed and “finished” the idea of a powerful and compact air engine that could fit in a hair dryer and operate at a speed of 110 thousand revolutions per minute.
Everything worked out, and now the engine is in the Laifen Swift Special hair dryer. Sales are growing in 2022, and this thing has gained popularity not only in the home market, but even in the US.
Today, Laifen Swift has sold more than a million pieces, ranked first among hot air dryer manufacturers in China by Tmall and JD. Sales of consumption in Russia.
What is special about the Laifen Swift Special hair dryer motor?
If – it is short more powerful than others and super quiet. At 110,000 rpm, the noise level is only 59 dB. This is less than the found Dyson (62 dB) or Philips (67 dB) models.
The air speed is also higher than all ideas: 22 meters per second. Dyson has 20 meters / sec here, and in this sense there is no even remembering about other feelings, the difference with some is almost twofold.
The hair dryer itself is physically lighter and lighter than the “analogues” of the above brands: 407 grams for Laifen Swift Special versus 463 grams for Dyson or as much as 920 grams for Philips.
My impressions of the Laifen Swift Special
Powerful air jet. Swift has two modes: medium and maximum power. On the medium and with the styling nozzle, the air jet escapes with the same stability as on a normal hair dryer to form a classic motor. Lifen invented some cheats. This flow is especially striking given the reduced noise level.
It’s really VERY quiet. When the hair has a semi-professional power of 2700W, the Apple Watch has a high noise power (up to 90db). And Laifen Swift Special can be leaned against your ear without discomfort. For expected power, it’s no louder than my 16″ MacBook Pro at high power!
Three temperature settings. The hair dryer has an LED ring that displays the active mode. Blue gives a jet of 20 degrees, yellow 50 degrees, red 80 degrees. I never had to use red. Yellow is enough for the head, plus this temperature is better for the hair.
Hair dried. What I’m looking forward to is that the wife, with great anticipation, came up with one blowout: The Laifen Swift Special dries hair twice as fast. the output of the power of the air jet and its uniformity (there is almost no spray with the presence of a meter) can even be dried and styled in 30 seconds at an average temperature.
Very light, easy to use. Classic hair dryers, especially high-power models, weighing a kilogram or more, and their size is mandatory. Laifen Swift Special lies perfectly in the hand, and even after 5 minutes of styling it does not get tired.
Nozzles for Laifen Swift Special are magnetic. Fasten strongly and easily, do not fly off.
There is ionization. Laifen promises a flow of 200 million million ions per cubic centimeter of air. I cannot verify this, but I can find that the hair is very easy to style, it is said that it is not represented by fibrous substances.
Doesn’t vibrate in hands. Even at high power, the handle of the hair dryer does not tremble – although such a stream of air escapes from it that it seems that the hair dryer will fly away like a rocket if you let it go.
many protection mechanisms. Almost all classic hair dryers end their life cycle the same way. Something inside lights up, it stinks and that’s it. In Laifen Swift Special against such a source, overheating fuses, thermal control, a temperature sensor and motor overload protection are provided. The body is made of fire-resistant fiberglass and nylon. Even the nozzle is made so that its edges do not heat up during prolonged collection. After 3 minutes of operation, you can safely take it with your hand and not get burned.
Laifen Swift Special surprised. Truly modern hair dryer
There are two different versions of Swift on sale: with and without common attachments. There are different colors. Now you can buy a Laifen hair dryer in Russia from 12,399 rubles.
Suddenly I saw this model for sale with us, it’s not entirely clear to me why to overpay for other “advanced” hair dryers or even take something other than Swift. It is lighter, quieter, more compact, more powerful than others.
Comfort in statistics, speed of drying and styling, low noise level, comfortable temperature conditions – in short, I am unexpectedly very pleased with Laifen Swift Special and now I look at my opinion with disdain, a classic hair dryer. Against the backdrop of Laifen, this is the last century.
